Social factors that affect the hand Hygiene of elementary and highschool students in İstanbul - Turkey

Tüm gıda güvenlik programları ve halk sağlığı prosedürlerinde birincil uygulayıcı insanlardır. Sosyal bir varlık olan insanın yapısındaki ana farklılıkların oluşmasında yaş, cinsiyet, sosyo-ekonomik pozisyonlar, psikolojik durumlar, aile içi eğitimler ve bakış açıları gibi bireye özgü değişkenler etkin bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu durum da, hem standart bir bilginin veya eğitimin verilmesindeki kişisel farklılıklara hem de standart bilgiyi ve eğitimin alınması takiben her bireyin alınan bilgileri hayata geçirmesinde kişisel farklılıklara neden olmaktadır. Özellikle çocukluk ve genç erişkinlik dönemini yaşayan bireylere hijyen prosedürleri çok bilinçli bir biçimde öğretilmeli, uygulattırılmalı ve söz konusu prosedürler çocuklarda ve genç erişkinlerde alışkanlık haline getirilmelidir. Bu araştırmada İstanbul bölgesindeki ilköğretim ve lise öğrencilerinin sosyal faktörlerinin (ekonomik pozisyon, annelerinin/babalarının işi, kardeş/hane halkı sayısı vb) el hijyenlerini nasıl etkilediği tespit edilmiş ve analiz edilen mikrobiyolojik parametreler ile öğrencilerin sosyal faktörleri arasındaki korelasyon ilişkileri belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla İstanbul bölgesinde toplam 20 adet okul 3 ay boyunca, aylık frekanslarda ziyaret edilmiştir. Her bir okuldan 50 adet örnekleme yapılmıştır (25 erkek, 25 kız öğrenci olmak üzere). Elde edilen sonuçlar sosyal faktörlerin öğrencilerin hijyen alışkanlıkları üzerinde çok önemli etkilere sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.

İstanbul’daki ilköğretim ve lise öğrencilerinin el hijyenini etkileyen sosyal faktörler

Persons are the primary performers for all food security systems and public health procedures, but humans do not have a standard configuration. The personal variables like age, gender, economic positions, psychological conditions, educations given by the family, life style and environment are the factors that determine main personal differences of humans. This situation can cause implementation differences for standard procedures as food security performances and educations related with food hygiene. Especially individual hygiene procedures must be tought to individulas when they are in childhood and early adult period very effectively. In this study we aim to determine how the social factors (economic position, mother/father occupation, number of siblings/household, etc.) effect hand hygiene according to the chosen microbiological parameters statistically who are registered in elementary and highschool programs of different schools in Istanbul. For this purpose 20 schools were visited for 3 months (visits were monthly). From each school 50 students (25 male and 25 female students) were sampled. The samples were anaylzed for the chosen microbiological parameters the correlations were determined among the microbiological parameters and the social variables of the students. According to the results we got, it was determined that the social variables were very effective on the students hygiene habits and microbiological load of the hands.
